What's new in Calories and nutrients counter 2.29

Hello everyone!

Today we have a big update, even I would say the biggest in this year.

New functionality

From now on, all food databases are available for download from the server. It means that you can use the application without the internet connection. Just download all the necessary databases and use them. 

As soon as you install the 2.29 version, you will be prompted to download all databases that you need. After that you can manage them from a new item in the app settings which is called "Manage food databases".

On the release day there are 3 databases available to use:

USA SR Legacy - English language. Is the final release of the Standard Reference data type. These data will not be updated.

USA Survey - English language. The Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) is updated every two years, in conjunction with the two-year cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Russian food - Russian language. The most common food from the Russian market.

All databases have title and description in the same language as its content. So it is easy to distinguish your native one.

Improvements

Since all food databases are stored on a device, a new search is implemented. It works much faster and allows to search food with a different order of key words. For example, you can search both ways "raw apple" and "apple raw" and it will return the most relevant matches.

The app is here

Hope you will enjoy this update!
